Downshift - 25 Sun - Rocklea Meet


Recommended Posts

I posed the question to one of our member's today - when was the last time one of our guys got defected? 1 in 18-24 months?

Yeah... well i guess it depends on where you drive, how you drive and what you drive...

I could say i havent been defected yet, but when you weigh up the fact the car has done 5000km in 12mths and mostly highway to the dyno its not a good example for stats!

A number of our guys use their cars as daily drivers. But what you say is also true. How you drive it is a massive factor.

Also what you choose in terms of mods i guess, if you have a noisy exhaust and BOV along with an uncovered pod, you are a direct target.... If its quiet, plumbed back and covered you stand a greater chance i guess, choose your mods wisely!

Exactly. It's not necessary to have a loud car. #@Cadmoon 's intake is ludicrously loud yet he doesn't get much attention.

It was part of my choice to change from the epic whistle machine back to the HTA, all the power and response increase was a bonus though :P

You generally don't need loud obnoxious parts to get a good amount of power on the streets. Speaking of which, what are you doing up here?

I need to change my blow off valve back to a stock one, I wound it tighter the other day and potentially where I have been getting boost drop from up high. Currently a HKS SSQ, wound it tighter and got .5psi more on the gauge.

Nothing illegal about unboxed pods up here though as ling as secured. Most aftermarket BOV's sound like crap anyway and it's not always the exhaust volume it can just be how hard you've got the iron boot to the floor.

NSW has to have boxed pods from memory. We're a little luckier up here. Even then, Mike has his boxed like a boss and it really wasn't that difficult to do.

Yep its one of their pet hates!

Mine is boxed in even with the 4in intake pipe!

In my experience they are not overly keen to go you for exhaust noise. They always mention it when I get pulled over but the actual process of taking an accurate noise reading is a pain in the ass so they don't.

Errr well in NSW they just give you an EPA notice and it doesnt matter if its stock or a sidepipe you still have to go through the time and effort to prove its legal! We got done in a diesal landcruiser so dont think they wont.... AND what is worse is that ours was just a report from an officer we apparently drove past, didnt get pulled over or warned, just got farked over by the EPA when the letter arrived!

So no matter what state you are in, keep it quiet or you will get done!

That isn't how it works in QLD, and I was simply relating my experience in QLD.

Don't have EPA here. :) No testing sites.

    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
